10 amp fuse is enough.  Old radios only use 4 or 5 amps without any 
external amplilfier.

Nothing too large.  Anything more than 25 watts is a waste, as the 
radio doesn't have that much power output.  8-ohms impedence is about 
right.  4-ohms is only for modern setups with high current to the speakers.
